- Eric's
treasure trove of mathematics contains short articles on zillions of
things. If you want to know something about anything mathematical, this is
a good place to look. There is also Eric's treasure trove of
scientific biographies, which contains biographical information on many
mathematicians. Eric has treasure troves for several sciences; links can
be found on the page referenced here.
